We have seen significant growth in Northern Iraq economy during past two years and Erbil as a focal point of trade and tourism for that region. “Additionally, the strong demand shown by the businessmen from Erbil to travel to Iran and the continued growth of trade volume between Iran and Iraq has created the right opportunities for introducing direct flights between the two cities of Erbil and Tehran.”
